Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a female reproductive tract sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the HPV testing process, disposable swabs are an important tool for sampling from the female reproductive tract, and they are crucial for the smooth progress of subsequent testing.

[0003] Traditional disposable swabs are designed so that the sampling head and sampling rod are separated by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. Although a snap-fit ​​mechanism is incorporated between the sampling head and sampling rod for easy breakage, medical personnel often encounter problems in practice. For example, when trying to fold the sampling head, it may not separate smoothly from the sampling rod. In such cases, staff must use additional tools to separate the sampling head and sampling rod, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and time cost of the operation and may also affect the sample being tested.

[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, it is essential to improve traditional disposable swabs in order to effectively avoid these problems and improve the convenience and accuracy of sampling operations during HPV testing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a female reproductive tract sampling device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A female reproductive tract sampling device includes a sampling rod, a fixing rod fixed on the sampling rod, and the fixing rod is threadedly connected to a screw groove on the sampling head. A vertical rod is fixed on the sampling head, and a sampling head is installed on the vertical rod. The sampling rod and the sampling head are fixed together by a connector.

[0008] Preferably, the connector includes a rubber block fixed on the sampling rod, and the bottom of the sampling head has an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the rubber block.

[0009] Preferably, a pinching groove is formed on the outer wall of the sampling head.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the sampling rod is provided with anti-slip vertical grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the sampling head, where it abuts against the sampling rod, is made of an elastic material.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This application achieves a stable connection between the sampling head and the sampling rod through the threaded connection between the fixing rod and the screw groove, and the cooperation between the rubber block and the arc-shaped groove. Simultaneously, the anti-slip vertical grooves on the surface of the sampling rod and the pinch grooves on the outer wall of the sampling head facilitate the application of force by medical personnel to the sampling rod and sampling head, enabling smooth rotation and facilitating sampling operations. This design allows medical personnel to more easily control the sampling device during operation, improving sampling efficiency and accuracy.

[0014] 2. After sampling is completed, the sampling head can rotate relative to and separate from the sampling rod, which makes it easy to store the sampling head separately. This is beneficial for subsequent testing operations, avoids interference to the testing process caused by the sampling head and sampling rod being connected together, and also facilitates sample management and transportation.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution, please refer to Figures 1-3 :

[0023] A female reproductive tract sampling device includes a sampling rod 1, a fixing rod 2 fixed to the sampling rod 1, and the fixing rod 2 is threadedly connected to a screw groove 5 on a sampling head 4. A vertical rod 8 is fixed to the sampling head 4, and a sampling head 9 is mounted on the vertical rod 8. The sampling rod 1 and the sampling head 4 are fixed together by a connector. The bottom part of the sampling head 4 that abuts against the sampling rod 1 is made of an elastic material, so that the sampling head 4 will not be damaged when it abuts against the sampling rod 1. The surface of the sampling rod 1 has anti-slip vertical grooves 10, which facilitate the rotation of the sampling rod 1 under force, thereby facilitating the sampling operation. The outer wall of the sampling head 4 has a pinching groove 6, which allows for better force application to the sampling head 4, thereby causing the sampling head 4 to rotate under force.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] The technical solution is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that, as Figure 3 As shown, the connector includes a rubber block 3 fixed on the sampling rod 1, and an arc-shaped groove 7 corresponding to the rubber block 3 is provided at the bottom of the sampling head 4. Because the rubber block 3 is elastic, even when the sampling head 4 comes into contact with the rubber block 3, the sampling head 4 can still rotate relative to the sampling rod 1 until the rubber block 3 extends into the arc-shaped groove 7. With the cooperation of the rubber block 3 and the arc-shaped groove 7, the sampling head 4 can rotate along with the sampling rod 1 when it is subjected to force, and will not rotate relative to the sampling rod 1 even if the sampling head 4 is subjected to external force.

[0026] In summary, this embodiment connects the sampling head 4's screw groove 5 to the fixing rod 2 via threads until the sampling head 4 abuts against the sampling rod 1 and the rubber block 3 extends into the arc-shaped groove 7. At this point, the sampling head 4 and the sampling rod 1 are fixed as one unit, and medical personnel can apply force to the sampling rod 1 to rotate it, causing the sampling head 9 on the sampling head 4 to collect the corresponding substance.

[0027] After sampling is completed, medical staff can apply force to the sampling head 4, causing it to rotate relative to the sampling rod 1 until the sampling head 4 separates from the sampling rod 1. The sampling head 4 can then be stored separately for subsequent testing.

[0028] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
